Avatar f tn If all brain related causes (transient ischemic attack, disorders of hypothalamus, dementia and multiple sclerosis, head injury etc) are ruled out then Vit B12 deficiency, chronic fatigue syndrome, sleep disorders (by sleep studies), depression, and certain types of seizures (where memory loss is the predominant symptom) should be investigated for as the cause of memory loss. Apart from sleep studies, EEG, you may need cognitive tests like mini-mental state examination (MMSE) or Folstein test.
Avatar f tn Does sleep apnea affect other sleep disorders such as night terrors, sleep eating, sleep walking, etc.? The physician who ordered by bi-pap machine wouldn't even discuss the other sleep disorders I have. He seemed uninterested. I'm so exhausted I'm starting to think there's no point anymore of trying. I feel like I'm floating through and useless to everyone around me. I live in a very small community and there is no one else in my insurance coverage group to go to.

Avatar n tn Nocturnal epilepsy is a condition in wherein seizures occur at night, usually while sleeping. People who experience this condition are unaware that they are having night seizures. Involuntary movements that may occur during this time may not look much different than normal sleep movements. Other symptoms include waking up very tired and with headaches. Like other seizure disorders, this can be treated with anticonvulsants. It is best that you check with your doctor for proper management.
2030686 tn?1351688548 I started having seizures in my sleep about a year ago. Dr's took me off Tramadol and Wellbutrin, which are both known to cause seizures, and suspected serotonin poisoning. I had another one a few months later, which they blamed on me adjusting my buspar dose, and didn't ave any more until I got over heated at the air show last weekend. When I got home I felt like I was having mini panic attacks and they would stop right before they got really bad.

Avatar f tn It appears to have some use against other circadian rhythm sleep disorders as well, such as jet lag and the problems of people who work rotating or night shifts. Taken 30 to 90 minutes before bedtime, melatonin supplementation acts as a mild hypnotic. It causes melatonin levels in the blood to rise earlier than the brain's own production accomplishes.

I am diagnosed with Mutiple Sclerosis, Complex Partial Seizures, Pernicous Anemia, Severe Migraines, Scolosis, and 3 herniated disc. My question is can any of my medical problems account for these sleep problems.....I guess I am wanting to know if this is a common sleep problem for someone with MS or Epilepsy or Migraines???
Avatar m tn The first step would be to rule the causes for insomnia like sleep disorders. Next it is treated with both medical and non medical therapy. Medical (sedatives) are given in the temporary initial phase, this is combined with non medical measures like sleep hygiene, relaxation therapy, stimulus control, and sleep restriction which are referred to as cognitive behavioral therapies. As the non medical measures help to restore your sleep rhythm, the sedatives are withdrawn.
Avatar f tn It sounds to me as if you are suffering from sleep apnea. People with sleep apnea stop breathing during their sleep. There may be some obstruction in the air passage.
